Environmental Health Risk Analysis Around the Banjarbakula Landfill Using the HIRADC Approach

Muhammad Irfa'i — 2026-01-28

Landfills are a critical component of urban solid waste management systems; however, when inadequately managed, they may pose substantial risks to environmental quality and public health in surrounding communities. This study aimed to analyze environmental quality and public health risks in the vicinity of the Banjarbakula Landfill. A descriptive–analytic cross-sectional design was employed, integrating measurements of ambient air quality, groundwater quality, and soil quality at selected locations around the landfill with a community health survey. Risk analysis was conducted using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control (HIRADC) method. The results indicated that concentrations of landfill gases and airborne particulates exceeded environmental quality standards, while groundwater and soil samples were contaminated with heavy metals, including lead, mercury, and cadmium. The community health survey revealed a high prevalence of respiratory disorders, skin diseases, and gastrointestinal disturbances, particularly among residents living closer to the landfill site. Risk assessment identified chemical and biological hazards as the dominant risks, classified as high risk. These findings demonstrate that the management of the Banjarbakula Landfill still requires significant improvements to reduce environmental degradation and public health risks. This study provides a scientific basis for strengthening policy implementation, enhancing landfill management technologies, and improving public health protection in communities surrounding landfill areas.

TPS3R Mojo Makmur Waste Processing Facility in Sustainable Waste Management

Dinar Rachmadika Baharintasari — 2026-01-27

This study analyzes household waste generation and the sustainability of the TPS3R Mojo Makmur waste management system in the City of Surakarta in response to increasing urban waste problems. The results show that household waste generation is still dominated by organic waste, while inorganic waste is relatively lower. Socioeconomic factors such as age, education level, and income do not significantly affect the total amount of waste generated but do influence waste composition. Multidimensional sustainability assessment indicates that TPS3R Mojo Makmur falls into the moderately sustainable category, with ecological and technological dimensions as its main strengths, particularly in waste reduction and the application of basic processing technologies. In contrast, the economic and socio-cultural dimensions remain challenging, especially in terms of limited economic value creation and suboptimal community participation. These findings highlight the need for policies that strengthen TPS3R institutional capacity, promote community-based circular economy development, and enhance public education and engagement. Support from local governments in the form of regulations, funding, and technological innovation is essential to improve the sustainability of integrated household waste management.

Environmental Sanitation Awareness Attitude Towards Personal Health Behavior of Junior High School Students in Ternate

Yusmar Yusuf — 2026-01-28

Awareness of environmental sanitation among adolescents not only contributes to pro-environmental behavior, but it may also be related to personal health behavior. This study aims to analyze the relationship and influence of environmental sanitation awareness attitudes on the personal health behavior of junior high school students in Ternate City, North Maluku Province. The study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational (cross-sectional) design involving 122 junior high school students. Data were collected through questionnaires on environmental sanitation awareness attitudes and personal health behavior within a score range of 0–100. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests (residual normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity), Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. Descriptive results showed an average environmental sanitation awareness attitude score of 83.47 (SD=6.87) and an average personal health behavior score of 72.28 (SD=6.85). Pearson correlation test showed a strong positive relationship between environmental sanitation awareness and personal health behavior (r=0.714; p<0.001). Simple linear regression indicated a significant effect with R²=0.510 and the model equation Y = 31.725 + 0.716X, meaning that a one-unit increase in environmental awareness predicts a 0.716-point increase in personal health behavior. These findings underscore the importance of integrating environmental education in schools as a dual strategy to enhance ecological concern while supporting healthy lifestyle behaviors among adolescents.

Impact of Weather Variability on Emergency Medical Service Activity in Semarang City

Jevita Sri Nurhayati Loleh — 2026-01-27

Weather variability influences the occurrence of medical emergencies that require rapid response, particularly in urban areas with high population density. This study aimed to analyze the effects of temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall on the number of daily PSC 119 calls in Semarang City. An ecological time-series design was applied using daily call records and meteorological data collected over 365 days in 2024, analyzed with a Distributed Lag Non-linear Model combined with quasi-Poisson regression to estimate risks across lag periods. The results show that both low and high temperatures substantially increased the risk of PSC 119 calls compared with the reference temperature. Moderate humidity was associated with higher risk, while very high humidity demonstrated a protective effect. Rainfall, particularly no-rain to light-rain conditions, also contributed to increased call frequency. Most weather-related effects occurred within 0–3 days, indicating an acute pattern of influence. These findings highlight the importance of integrating weather prediction into emergency preparedness systems to support workforce planning, resource allocation, and operational response. Further studies incorporating call-type classifications and additional environmental variables are recommended to improve understanding of weather-related emergency service demand.

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control (HIRAC) of Fablab Setting and Infrastructure at President University

Yosef Barita Sar Manik — 2026-01-28

This study demonstrates the methodological contribution of applying the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Control (HIRAC) framework to a previously underexplored setting: an academic Fabrication Laboratory (FabLab). Key findings reveal that the facility’s pre-assessment safety profile was medium-high, primarily due to critical hazards such as exposed electrical cables and obstructed emergency equipment. By employing a systematic, qualitative approach and implementing a tailored control plan based on the hierarchy of controls, the study successfully reduced the overall risk level to low-medium. The research concludes that the HIRAC method offers a replicable and effective model for proactive risk management in academic makerspaces, ultimately enhancing safety culture through structured assessment and prioritized intervention.
